The message composition window has its own set of menus:
<guimenu>File</guimenu>, which controls operations on files and
data, <guimenu>Edit</guimenu>, for text editing,
<guimenu>Format</guimenu>, which controls the file format of
messages you send, <guimenu>View</guimenu>, to set how you view
the message, and <guimenu>Insert</guimenu>, which holds tools
for embedding files and other items in messages. Here's what's in them:
